Hi, does anyone know whether its possible to choose different seats to the ones that go with the different models? really like the red and white ones for the pop but want a sport model!! and dont want the leather?? thanks

Youcant interchange seats from different models... i.e. Pop seats only in Pops Im afraid.

You could probably buy Pop seats separately, but they're not available as an option on Sport.

Why do you want a Sport?

Pretty sure not. I guess you would have to start with a Pop and add the bits you want. I don't think you can have the sport button option though (or is that on all 1.4s?) and some of the sport trim (like chrome inserts on door sills are specific to the sport). Plus the sport steering wheel is sport only though you can upgrade the Pop to the Lounge leather wheel.

Have been on the configerer and basically want a 1.2 with air con,dont want a sun roof(had one and never used it and prefer the solid colour look of the roof), not bothered about split seats, had them and either want all the back down or up so waste of time. so that leaves either the sports plus chrome kit and couple of extras or a pop and add air con,different wheels,steering wheel,etc etc.in the end there isnt much difference in price apart from the different seats! or am I missing another important difference?? am getting totally fuddled lol! localdealer has a pop in white with red and white seats plus air con due in soon sooooooo even more fuddled as I really want a yellow one(even more so after seeing z****** (sorry cant remember your name) yesterday!!
Anyone know whether the flagship store in london will have all the colours on show as we are thinking of going down in couple of weeks!! thanks

A standard Sport is £50 more expensive then a Pop in the same colour and with the same wheels specced up to the same level (excluding the rear spoiler).

You'll lose some of the sporty-looking touches (speedo etc) and the sports seats, but will get the upholstery you prefer.

Also, the Sport will be worth more come resale time.

Personally, I'd go for the Sport.

mmmmm! just what i was thinking, and as i want yellow(or orange) then the red and white seats wouldnt really look right I suppose! so looks like a sport and think at least its a bit different on the outside if a bit boring on the inside lol!! Dealer I went to had lots of lounge and mjt's coming in but not many sports! and well none in yellow and only one in orange so looks like I will have to wait! would it be worth ringing round lots of dealers to see if they might have ordered a yellow sport?? or go to my local one and order it there?

It may be worth ringing round to see if any dealerships have one coming that matches or is close to what you want, as many now have cars coming that they cannot change the spec on.

If none have, then you'll have to order one.

lol yea.. all nices things..
but seriously, i was shocked how similar the micra looks

Me too, keep seeing them out the corner of my eye as they dirve past and have to turn my head to confirm that it is in fact a micra not an early delivery 500.

Actually one of my concerns is I'll get to work and people will say, 'oo nice facelift micra!' or 'You stupid bas**** spending £12320 on a micra(te)'

I'm getting that already at work! I don't care to be honest, it's not a Micra and my car will be a better spec than half of them anyway...

Step inside and all those evil thoughts will be banished my son.

I dont see it myself, I owned a new Micra in 2003/4... to me the 500 looks more like the Ka at the rear quarter, not a Micra. Anyway, the Micra was a lovely looking little bug till they facelifted them.
